Kerana aku selalu lupa #5

Cukuplah aku rabun. 
Cukup terseksa. 
Spek seolah-olah pengganti nyawa. 
Tanpa spek hidup tak bermakna. 
Naiklah Spaceshot setinggi mana, kena tanggal spek masa naik, apa gunanya? 
Tak nampak satu apa. 
Mana nikmatnya?
Bayangkan bila buta.
Meraba-raba.
   

"Maka tidak pernahkah mereka berjalan di bumi sehingga hati (akal) mereka dapat memahami, telinga mereka dapat mendengar? Sebenarnya bukan mata itu yang buta, tetapi yang buta ialah hati yang di dalam dada." (22:46)

Cukuplah aku rabun, 

sekurang-kurangnya ada spek tolong kasi clear.

Kalau buta macam mana? 

Kerana aku selalu lupa #4

"For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb; - those who understand not."

"Sesungguhnya sejahat-jahat makhluk yang melata, pada sisi (hukum dan ketetapan) Allah, ialah orang-orang yang pekak lagi bisu, yang tidak mahu memahami sesuatupun (dengan akal fikirannya)."

(8:22)

Berusaha untuk memahami wahai Smak. 
Jangan malas-malas!  
Lari laju-laju. 

Ciao, Italia

I went to other parts of Italy which I did not have the chance to visit last year. Italy was awesome, but I am getting bored with Europe. Generally all the European countries have to offer are mainly churches, statues and museums. I adore buildings, architecture and whatnots but I am more attracted to breathtaking sceneries and landscapes, I suppose. Nature, to sum up. Take Eiffel tower for instance, having went there last year I still don't get what's with the fuss over it. The design is somewhat similar to Tokyo Tower (in my humble opinion), so there is not much to say about that. Romantic? From what I see Italians are more passionate and very openly show their romantic side regardless of whether it was in the middle of a junction on a busy road. Anyway, it is my personal opinion so sorry if you disagree. You are entitled to your own, I have no say to that. Hmm, lets just skip my boring ramblings, shall we?

Pisa

Small town, nothing much apart from the leaning tower. 

Florence

Nice town, perfect for art lovers and architecture students. The Duomo is beautifully constructed but we were wondering why does it have very few windows, mesti panas dalam tu. 

Venice

Beautiful. The smaller canals are a bit smelly though. 

Verona

It has a small building which resembles colloseum, very much to my dismay because I kind of  have this perception that they build it purposely to add the number of attractions in the city. Anyhoo, the city is famous for its Juliet statue. Go watch Letters to Juliet, though as usual, the place looks a bit different from what was shown in the movie. 

Milan

The city centre is a heaven for rich people; read: Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc..all perfectly lined up in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuel. This is not the galleria though, this is the famous Duomo in Milan.

Summing up, Italy is worth a visit, should you ever plan to go to Europe. 

P/s: I re-read what I wrote and I am now convinced that I can never be a travel journalist. I make everything looks dull.

"The rush of hot blood into the heart is the darkest magic, and it must be tamed." - Dorabella Toscano, A Young Man with Prospects 

How our feelings and emotions are connected with our physical body, is mind boggling, really.
I like pain, but this is not it. This is different. 

And my threshold for this peculiar sensation is not as high as I think it will be. 
Prophylaxis measures are crucial.
Stay away, oh stimulus.
At least until we have the cure.

Tame it, we will.   

Sesumpah

I really am not interested in the current hot issue in Malaysia but I felt like I should put this up because all this crazy sumpah laknat thing can be very confusing to non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Again, the root of the problem is the lack of proper understanding of our Deen, Islam. Do listen to the ustaz's explanation in the video. Thank God someone is sensible and brave enough to clear this up before more misunderstandings of the religion can occur, and he explained it rather well I'd say. Short and clear and most importantly, with reference to the Quran.

• Proses sumpah untuk menuduh seseorang itu berzina tiada dalam hukum syara' kecuali yang membabitkan suami isteri sahaja. 
• Rujukan: surah An-Nur: 4-9. 

I don't really have the knowledge (even so, I do know that this is not the right way to solve things) so sorry for the lack of info because I am currently busy studying for my finals. No time to search for a more complete explanation. However I think this explanation is quite reliable. Do correct me if anything is wrong or missing.

"They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allah . Indeed, it was evil that they were doing." (63:2)

"Mereka menjadikan sumpah-sumpah mereka sebagai perisai, lalu mereka menghalang-halangi (manusia) dari jalan Allah. Sungguh, betapa buruknya apa yang telah mereka kerjakan." (63:2)

Four-leaf clover

No, I don't need a four-leaf clover right now.

The four things I desperately need at the moment are:

1. Concentration
2. Patience
3. Discipline
4. Hardwork

All of which, is the complete contrast of the usual yours truly.

But I am trying. 

By the way, there is no such thing as luck, I dare say. 

There is predestination, i.e. qada and qadar. 

And there is this familiar verse: 

"..Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." (13:11)

Berusaha! 

Lets learn health economics!

Should have studied this sooner. Haha.
